"The Free and Independent States of America"
The miracle of an untrained, ill-equipped renegade army winning decisive battles against England's finest soldiers ... the birth of Philip Kent's heir on the eve of the birth of a nation . . . the nerve shattering horror of the battlefield ... the intellectual turmoil of a congress drafting its most daring declaration ... and the sustaining love of a woman devoted equally to her husband and the nation's new cause presents a rich panorama of the people and events that are a part of the American Experience.
